Welcome, sweet Springtime, we greet thee in song!

I know we are almost a month past the vernal equinox, and maybe I am just easily entertained, but to my way of thinking, one of the funniest things I have ever seen on television was an episode of The Andy Griffith Show called “Barney and the Choir.” Here it is (in three parts, unfortunately, but without any commercials):

Barney and the Choir (10:07, Part 1 of 3)

Barney and the Choir (9:18, Part 2 of 3)

Barney and the Choir (4:48, Part 3 of 3)



The moral of the story, class, should be obvious: Just because all God’s chillun got a uvula doesn’t mean you should exercise yours, necessarily.
